dog coughing

[ringtail]

if ya wanna get rid of kennel cough put a cap full of bleach in thier water......
i clean my bowls every 2 days with bleach water and i fill up the water buckets and add a cap of bleach,,,,

i know this works because the vet told me our house dog had kennel cough i gave he the cap full of bleach everytime i filled her water a week later no cough,,,,,,

careful with the Clorox. id heard of this home remedy and asked my vet. she said alot of home remedy's she approves of but this one she doesnt. Course if you put bleach in water and it sits in the sun very long it will disappear. chlorine is in city tap water anyway.

yeah i have heard of people squirting bleach down a dogs throat followed by yogut to cure parvo,,,,never tied it tho,,,,,

i belive some home remidies do work others are just a fluke,,,,,

It will cure parvo by killing the dog.
Ingestion of concentrated bleach will kill it.

Bleach in the water bowl will kill waterborne bacteria (giardia, crypt sporidum, e.coli, etc).

It will probably do nothing to prevent kennel cough because it is airborne virus.

notice i said i heard,,,never tried it,,,,

Yep, chlorine Bleach is what most the meat processing plants in the U. S. use as a sanitizer on their equipment. SilverZuk is correct as I've seen many that have wells also use it when they get a bad water potability test result.

Dilution is 1gal bleach/10 gal water for flushing a well. Just so you know, if you just dump straight bleach down a well it stirs up bacteria at alarming rates, THAT could kill ya.
I'd wash waterbowls with bleach in the water but I don't think I would add it to the water.
